The result

Africa Map Botswana
  • Water is withdrawn from the Chobe River by submersible pumps installed on a pontoon designed by WEC Water.

  • Surface water is treated to meet BOS 32:2015 drinking water standards through pre-oxidation with chlorine dioxide, coagulation/flocculation, lamella sedimentation, rapid gravity sand and granular activated carbon filtration and disinfection with chlorine dioxide
The recent economic growth of Kasane, particularly in the tourism sector and associated businesses, has spurred the Botswana Government to upgrade its municipal services in the area. This upgrade aims to accommodate not only the influx of tourists and tourism facilities, but also the resultant increase in the number of associated businesses and workers that are flocking to the area.
